Discover Japanís abundance of breathtaking experiences

Japan is a country unlike that of any other in the world. Embracing the future and preserving the past makes Japan a fascinating country to visit and escorted tours help you discover countryís diverse, natural and cultural heritage.

Our selection of tried and tested itineraries highlight some of Japanís most fascinating areas and help you discover the must-see sights and hidden haunts of this intriguing country. Some of our tours are part-escorted and are ideal for travellers looking to see Japan at their own pace. You will have time with knowledgeable local guides at certain times during your tour, whilst also enjoying your own free time to explore and travel independently. Alternatively, we also offer fully escorted tours for those keen to discover the many wonders of Japan with likeminded travellers.

For first time visitors, the Tokyo & Kyoto tour provides an introduction to two of Japanís iconic cities: bustling Tokyo and the astoundingly scenic Kyoto, with travel between the two cities on the world-famous Shinkansen bullet train. Alternatively, on the 9 day Japan at a Glance tour you can enjoy the scenic splendours of Hakone National Park, the gateway to Mount Fuji, as well as the attractions of Tokyo and Kyoto. Alternatively, opt for the fully escorted 10 day Japanís Golden Route tour, operated by China Links Travel, which includes Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto and Japanís most recognised city, Hiroshima.

For those wishing to delve deeper into the heart of Japan, lengthier tours are available, including the 15 day part-escorted Highlights of Japan. This comprehensive tour begins in the exciting capital Tokyo; continues to Hakone National Park; includes travel on the Shinkansen bullet train; the Hida alpine region; the traditional gassho-zukuri farmhouses of Shirakawago, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site; the beautifully preserved castle town of Kanazawa; and the historically famous Hiroshima, which has risen phoenix-like from the ashes and rebuilt itself as one of Japanís most laid-back, vibrant cities.

The part-escorted tours offer complete flexibility with daily departures available. As well as travel on the Shinkansen bullet train each of these tours includes transport passes to ensure ease with your explorations. The fully escorted tour has fixed, guaranteed, departure dates for up to 20 people and benefits from the services of a carefully selected local guide to ensure your travels are as informative and as enjoyable as possible.
